Dark Dragon, the competition that would choose who gets a kiss from Silva, was on the way. It was a series of different competitions.
Now, some of the ladies had strengths that were higher than others, and that made it very unfair, but Silva had a solution for that.
He and Drake worked on a device that would bring everyone to the same power level. That way, it would all come down to experience and skill to win.
After that, he collected the names of the ladies that wanted to participate in the competition, and sure, he saw Lia’s name—that would be an issue for sure.
He called her aside to his room to have a talk with her.
When Lia arrived at his room, she walked in and saw him seated on a chair near the bed. He pointed at the bed for her to sit.
She sat down, facing him, waiting for him to start talking.
“Lia, I saw your name on the list of people that wanted to partake in the competition. I know I have been lax about things, but you are still my sister.
Kissing you would be something wrong. Seriously, Lia,” Silva said.
“Am I related to you by blood?” Lia asked. Her face was down like she was trying to hold in her anger.
“Well, no, by blood you aren’t, but—”
“No buts. That is all I needed to know, and that is enough for me. I won’t allow you to stop me,” she said and got up, leaving Silva in the room.
“Well, that didn’t go as I expected it to. She still wants to kiss me. It feels weird to me, but it is a different world with different rules,” Silva said.

While preparations were going on for the competition, Silva received a notification.
[The weeping angels are arriving.]
When Silva saw the message, he immediately left the castle and fled into the forest at top speed.
Immediately after he entered the forest, time in the entire ten-kilometer radius froze. Portals opened, and two six-winged angels came out.
Right off the bat, Silva could tell that they were vastly stronger than the last angel he fought, even if they were all six wings.
But there was another thing he noticed: they were moving, even though he was looking right at them.
“How are they moving?” he thought to himself, and all his minds immediately went to work. In less than three seconds, they brought a solution.
The issue was that the weeping angels freeze when they are stared at in time. Only when they are looked at in time would they freeze.
But now, they had frozen time, and so they did not exist in the normal flow of time. At least, they could live as they wished.
Silva wasn’t sure if this was the right answer, but it made sense, so he would go with it. The angels didn’t waste any time. As soon as they stepped out, they attacked.
Their speed was beyond what Silva had ever seen before. He could barely follow them with his eyes. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
“I guess I’ll die if I don’t go all out today,” Silva said. He immediately transformed into a dragon newt state and took out his sword as well.
He flapped his wings and shot into the air with teleport-like speed before the angels could get to him. Immediately he went up, they shot up into the air as well.
He made a bend in the air and flew down as he attacked them with a slash, but they merely blocked it easily and even pushed Silva back.
After pushing him back, one angel countered with a powerful slash. A sonic boom shook the air as Silva managed to block the attack.
But for the first time, Silva’s hands trembled after blocking an attack. It didn’t stop there because the angels moved faster and attacked ferociously.
Silva blocked every attack, but his hands got number with every attack that he blocked.
Rather than make Silva scared, this made him feel excited—excited for what this battle had to offer.
He fired massive dark bullets at them to push them back, and then he fired a massive abyssal flame arc from his sword at the angels.
One angel moved to block the flames. The sword of the angel glowed, and it cut through the flames. Immediately the flame vanished, and the angel wanted to counter Silva.
But Silva was no longer there. They both looked around and saw him right above with a formation above his head yet pointed at them in a tilted angle.
The formation fired a thick stream of flames at the angels. They tried to block them, but the force and heat of the flames were really high, and they took damage.
Unlike the first time Silva fought a six-wing, he had grown more and was a lot more confident, and that reflected in the way he fought.
The angels became enraged, and they moved even faster and with more ferociousness. Their slashes held full power, and with every attack that Silva blocked, the more he was pushed back.
But this fight was just getting good. That was how Silva felt, and he wanted to go all out and see how strong they were.
But after blocking a lot of their attacks, his hands had gone completely numb. Even his scales could not help him.
Silva summoned two clones to assist him. Immediately they appeared, they moved to attack the angels. They immediately got into a heated battle with each other.
While Silva in the back was cooking up something, he first cast the Joker of the Abyss, transforming into the Joker.
After that, he cast his domain. The domain spread out and covered the entire ten kilometers, which was the distance of the time freeze of the angels.
And now two laws began clashing: the laws of the domain and the laws of the time freeze zone.
This caused the angels to start glitching while fighting, stopping and then moving again. When they stopped, the clones could do nothing.
But when they moved, the clones could attack again. The reason for this glitch was because the clones needed the time zone to be able to move freely when Silva was looking at them.
But now, the domain was clashing with the time zone, and the domain was canceling out the time zone. But the time zone was putting up a very good fight, and that was what was causing the fluctuations.

A large carriage made it to the gates of the capital of Aragon. The guards at the gate surrounded the carriage and began checking what was inside while asking the carriage driver some questions like identifications and other things.
They asked about where he was coming from, and the man told them all he needed to while still showing them his documents.
He came from a small farming town in the kingdom and was bringing his harvest to sell in the capital. The guards checked all his documents to ensure that he was legit, and then, when they were certain, they allowed him to pass and enter the capital.
The carriage rose through the streets, and then it took a very odd turn into an alley. The carriage driver stopped the carriage and walked to the back.
He knocked on one of the boxes, big enough to hold a human. He opened the cover and cleared out the crops on top to reveal Spark Blade.
“We have made it to the capital of Aragon, Sir Spark,” the man said.
“Already? The ride was really comfy,” Spark Blade said and got up from the box. He came out of the carriage and stretched his body.
“Be safe. Word is that the demon king candidate has a lot of influence in the capital. Many say that the king is his dog, doing his bidding,” the carriage driver said.
He got back on his carriage and used the other way to leave, leaving Spark Blade behind. Spark Blade turned around and left the alley.
Immediately after leaving, he found a bar and walked into it. What better place to start gathering information than the bar?
The place was brimming with untapped information and loudmouths that would say anything in their stupor. It was a spy’s paradise.
He entered, and the place was already pounding and noisy. He walked straight to the counter and took his seat.
He waved to the bartender, a middle-aged man, and asked for some beer. The bartender served it up for him and placed it on the counter.
“Business seems to be booming,” Spark Blade said, and that was all he needed to start the conversation.
“Well, it has been that way ever since the new Dark Dragon kingdom provided us with cheap teleportation. Since you don’t know this, I’m guessing you are from one of the outside towns and not the capital,” the bartender said.
“Yes, I work in a town not too far from here. I have heard about things getting better in the capital because of a connection to the new kingdom, but I never knew the details.”
